Can you imagine President Bush scaling a state trip because two schoolgirls had been murdered?

In Belgium, the entire country is in mourning, the Prime Minister has vowed to catch the killer, and the Crown Prince is scaling back a trip in respect for the girls' families. Granted, the US is a much larger country than Belgium, but I have to say, I feel like I'm in a much less civilised country when violence like this is likely to be on the evening news to be replaced almost immediately by something else, even on a regional basis, where in Belgium a nation mourns the loss of two innocents.
